FAQs - Downloadables

All too often teachers tell us that due to time pressure and convenience, they shop around for one-size-fits-all digital teaching resources and lesson plans that do the job, but lack any real substance and creativity. The lessons get taught, the curriculum gets met, but are the students getting the most out of their schooling? Are the teachers really having any control on the content that they are relaying? Teachers and parents have constantly asked us to create digital, printable resources with as much passion and ingenuity behind them as our existing LinkyThinks physical products. So we’re now here to help!

Yes! Downloadables offer a versatile and adaptable framework that have been designed to seamlessly integrate into educational settings. This flexibility ensures that while the resources offer comprehensive support, they also grant teachers the autonomy and freedom to adapt and modify materials and lesson plans, tailoring them not only to the learners’ needs but also to their preferred methods of teaching.

Each resource offers additional challenges for advanced learners, providing opportunities for deeper understanding and pushing further, while simultaneously providing extra support and scaffolding for those who need it, ensuring an engaging and inclusive learning experience.

Adaptive teaching refers to an educational approach that tailors educational content and methods to the unique needs and abilities of individual learners. The aim is to provide a personalised and responsive learning experience, based on the individual needs and learning styles of each learner. Not only does this enable students to progress at their own pace and in their own way, but also promotes a more engaged and successful learning experience.

Rather than focussing on rigid year groups and ages, Downloadables are designed to be adaptive to the unique needs of individual learners. Therefore, are able to cater to the varying learning paces, strengths and challenges of each student. This allows educators to provide targeted support where needed most, ensuring that students receive content at the appropriate level and pace.

We believe that educational development is not a uniform and students make progress at different rates, depending on the level of challenge or scaffold that they require. Through this adaptive approach, our resources can be accessed by learners at various levels, allowing them to engage with content that aligns with their individual needs – whether this be the need for a more visual, creative, physical etc. approach to learning. This adaptability ensures that every student, regardless of their starting point, can access materials that challenge and support their growth, contributing to a more inclusive and effective learning experience.

New resources will be added monthly in order to keep the content relevant, engaging and aligned with evolving educational needs.
